I'm using Red Hat Linux 6.1 for my virtual web hosts (using one ip for the vhosts) and Imail Server 5.05 on a
separate NT box for the mail server. How do I use Imail server to configure virtual e-mail hosts based on
the web hosts on the Linux box?
For ANYdomain, the zone file (I assume a Linux guy runs BIND 8.2.2 p5) would look like this:
;file db.anyhost.com
$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN anyhost.com
@ SOA etc etc
;
@ NS ns1.ISPdomain.com
@ NS ns2.ISPdomain.com
;
@ MX 10 imailbox.ISPdomain.com
;
@ A ip.ad.re.ss ; of linux box for web server
www A ip.ad.re.ss ; of linux box for web server
ftp A ip.ad.re.ss ; of linux box for client access to his htdoc's.
Since all domains share all the above records 'cept the SOA, you could use $INCLUDE db.template for all the zone files:
;file db.anyhost.com
$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN anyhost.com
@ SOA etc etc
;
$INCLUDE db.template
where db.template.com contains all the common, repeating records:
@ NS ns1.ISPdomain.com
@ NS ns2.ISPdomain.com
;
@ MX 10 imailbox.ISPdomain.com
@ A ip.ad.re.ss ; of linux box for linux box
www A ip.ad.re.ss ; of linux box for linux box
ftp A ip.ad.re.ss ; of linux box for client's access to his htdoc's.
Then in Imail, for every domain on the linux box, define a virtual mail host of "anyhost.com" and with mail host alias of "mail.anyhost.com".
